Hmm, it's not only Canadians who are lucky. After Fido's move, AT&T is also offering refurbished iPhone 3G for $49 on two year contract.
If you've been planning to get the iPhone 3G, this would be the best deal ever. The offer is valid till stocks last. I am sure the stock is dwindling as you read this post.
This offer is a clear indication that the company is trying every means to clear inventory of the old model.
If you are thinking what refurbished iPhones are; well, those are the devices exchanged/returned before 15 days from the date of purchase due to Read More...
Apple selling one million iPhone 3GS in three days was just the prelude, one month down the line we have more stunning iPhone 3GS sales announcement.
Apple just announced that they have successfully sold 5.2 million iPhone 3GS units till date. iPhone 3GS inventory is running low with demands outpacing production. Out of the 80 countries where Apple has launched iPhone 3G only 18 countries got the iPhone 3GS.
Apple's Chief Operating Officer said that the other 62 countries would get the iPhone 3GS by the end of September.
We all know that Apple is futuristic in their approach. The company introduced the iPhone Read More...
I do sometimes envy when I see iPhone 3GS owners taking video recordings with their devices, when they show off the compass application and so on. However, I have not changed my decision not to upgrade very soon. While you'll find many proud and happy iPhone 3GS users, seems there are as many unhappy lots too.
There are many complaints surfacing on the Internet that the iPhone 3GS battery isn't up to the mark. Some users are even claiming that the iPhone 3G battery turn out to be better than that of the new iPhone 3GS. It is hard to judge though.

To let the world know that the third coming of the iPhone is near and that Steve Jobs is also returning soon, Apple is offering buy online option for the iPhone. This latest offer allows customers to order an iPhone directly from Apple Online Store and get the device shipped to their doors absolutely free of cost.
Earlier, customers have to go through verification process, select a data plan and get the device finally from the nearest Apple Store. This latest development, as I have said is nothing but a desperate bit to clear the present iPhone inventory in view of the Read More...
How many of you would buy an iPhone if Apple or AT&T were to announce "Buy one get one FREE" offer. Yes, I see millions of raised hands out there. This is what exactly Verizon did with the BlackBerry phones when the handsets were not selling good. I say it's a good business strategy to force people spend when there is credit crunch. Apple might never do this though.
The aggressive buy one get one free offer on BlackBerries has turn out good for both RIM and Verizon. BlackBerry Curve has become the best selling smartphone in the US leaving the Read More...
A good news that would not blow you away; AT&T would be selling the iPhone 3G sans contract starting March 26, 2009 according to the Boy Genius.

The introduction of the 32GB iPhone or the iPhone nano during the Macworld Expo 2009 is almost certain with AT&T selling refurbished 8GB iPhone 3G for $99 and Walmart selling the iPhone 3G at $2 less than the usual price. Apple is planning to dump the 8GB version (likely).
For those of you who are looking for a good deal on the iPhone, AT&T is selling their refurbished 8GB iPhone for just $99 and 16GB for $199. The offer ends when the available stock is sold out or 31st December, whichever happen earlier. All the refurbished iPhones come pre-loaded with the Read More...
As we have speculated earlier, there are no price cuts after all in those iPhones to be sold by Wal-Mart. Well, there is a two dollar price cut for both the 8 and 16 GB models. However no $99 iPhones. Not as yet.
However, we now do have a fixed date. December 28th. That’s when the iPhone will be off the Wal-Mart shelves.
This pilot project by Wal-Mart will be opening in 488 stores across the country with 5 iPhones for each of these stores that will be sold only to the Wal-Mart employees. Who in turn will get the benefit of Read More...
According to a Piper Jaffray analysis, Apple has already sold a staggering 5 million iPhones in the current quarter. We do not yet have the official Apple words for checking these numbers. (Apple will be doing that probably in a month’s time, during their Quarter 4 report)
Apple’s original goal of selling 10 million no longer seems another fantastic boast. This figure alone puts the total iPhone sales at a stunning 7.5 million iPhones for the year (taking in count the 2.5 million original iPhone’s sold before the launch of the iPhone 3G).
The holiday sales are yet to start. As well Read More...
Even as part of the rest of the world warms up for iPhone launch, here is a quick look at where the first 1 million iPhones went. (source: Medialet)
Among the 22 countries where the iPhone 3G was launched initially, US topped the chart with a reported sale of over 600,000 units. Japan was a surprising second place holder, though a distant second, with 70,000 units. Germany and France follow Japan closely with the sales of 69,000 and 67,000 units respectively. Spain comes fifth with 55,000 unit sales. The last major sales place was the UK with 29,000 units. Ireland, New Read More...
On second thoughts, maybe not. Damon Poeter impersonates an Apple hater and writes about the miserable failure that Apple’s iPhone 3G launch has been. It’s a clever satire. Here’s a sample or two:
Despite massive hype surrounding Apple's launch of its 3G iPhone last Friday, some 6.7 billion people around the world opted against purchasing one over the weekend.
“[T]he new iPhone 3G is clearly off to a great start around the world," Jobs said Sunday, putting a brave face on the epic fail of the first weekend's sales figures.
Clever, yes. But check the comments on the page. Most people were genuinely Read More...
A favorite game among analysts in the tech world is to try and predict the sales of the iPhone for a specific period, or in general make any iPhone related predictions. Stocks, profits, revenue, market share—anything you can think of has already been predicted.
In this column, we’ll file all such predictions as they come in, and you’ll be able to find them by date or by analyst, and also see for yourself how the predictions actually panned out.
One of the foremost “predictors” is Gene Munster, analyst at Piper Jaffray. Let’s begin with his latest--a quick summary of all his earlier Read More...
